Airport Extreme (1354) + Old Airport Express for AirTunes Only

I have the new Airport Extreme released in October 2009 (A1354), and also an old Airport Express released way back in 2004. I don't need to extend my network because I live in a relatively small apartment. Instead, I'd like to use the Airport Express purely for AirTunes. Is this possible without degrading the speed of the WiFi network? Thank you.

set up the old express to join the network provided by the new extreme.
is your extreme a +sim dual band+ type ? if so, you will not notice any degradation in speed. wireless-n capable clients will access the 5 GHz and b/g-clients the 2.4 GHz bands respectively.

  • Setting up Time Capsule, Airport Extreme, and old AP Express...

    Question regarding setting up a wireless network in the home.
    I currently have the following Apple wireless networking products:
    Time Capsule - Model A1254
    Airport Extreme - Latest model
    Airport Express - Model A1084 (older model unit)
    I also have a Verizon router with wireless capabilities.
    I am trying to provide wireless coverage throughout my entire home. The Verizon router is in the basement, and I have the wireless portion turned off.
    I have ethernet running to my office on the first floor from the Verizon router in the basement as well as ethernet running to the second floor. In my office I put the Time Capsule, while the Airport Extreme is on the second floor.
    Since both the Time Capsule and the Airport Extreme have ethernet providing their internet connection, I am curious to know what is the best way to set them up to provide wireless support to laptops.
    Should they both be configured with the same SSID but with different channels? Should they be configured with different SSIDs? What settings will provide the most seamless (Apple-like) experience? What will provide the best bandwidth?
    Lastly, should I set up the Airport Express with WDS? Should I ditch it altogether since it bottlenecks the performance of the WDS main router?
    Any advice would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Ivan

    +Should they both be configured with the same SSID but with different channels?+
    Yes, if you want one "large" network. A laptop could "roam" around the house and automatically pick up the strongest signal.
    No, if you want two separate wireless networks. In this case, you would need to switch networks depending on the location of your laptop in relation to the nearest router.
    Make sure both the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme are configured with their Connection Sharing setting to "Off (Bridge Mode)".
    The ethernet backbone on your network will provide for the best possible bandwidth...much better than if you try to extend using wireless only.
    +should I set up the Airport Express with WDS?+
    Ideally, you would set the AirPort Express up the same as the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme...using ethernet to the AirPort Express. WDS will kill your bandwidth on the wireless network, cutting it in half. If you can't connect the AirPort Express using ethernet, you will probably be much better off simply not using it.

  • CAN"T EXTEND RANGE OF NEW AIRPORT EXTREME WITH OLD AIRPORT EXPRESS

    Hello Everyone,
    I am having a heck of a time getting my new network setup with this new 802.11n Airport Extreme... Here is what I currently have going on:
    I have a G5 1.8 it is my main computer and in ROOM #1... Connected to it is my NEW AIRPORT EXTREME via an Ethernet cable to one of the available ports. Also connected to the NEW AIRPORT EXTREME is my CABLE MODEM... This works great, It is setup and I have internet via Ethernet... I CAN EVEN CONNECT IN ROOM #2 with a PC and an Apacer wireless adapter...
    Here is the problem
    When I try to add an Airport Express V6.3 to extended the range of my network it can NEVER seem to connect to the network. I have checked the option to allow extension of the NEW AIRPORT in AIRPORT UTILITY and tried both with WEP security and with NO SECURITY... I cannot get the Express to extend the range of my network period... It has an error when joining the network???
    Can Anyone Please Help Me?
    PS. The reason to extend the network is so I can use the Notebooks in ROOM #3 and so a TIVO can see the Network! It is not far away!
    G5 1.8 (2003)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Also am having problems with my roomates HP Laptop... It connects for only a few seconds/minutes then has an issue... Really shady??? Any Ideas? He is Running Windows XP

  • How do I add a second Airport Express for Airtunes only?

    I already have one Airport Express hooked up to my G5 for wireless internet. Works just fine. How, in simple english, do I add a second Airport Express to my downstairs stereo fot playing my iTunes music through.
    I have looked through the help sections, but it all comes across too complicated sounding. It can't be that hard.
    What do I do to set it up & NOT screw up my already working internet conection?
    I have the audio cable hooked up to my stereo/Airport Express downstairs & the Airport Express plugged in... "Yellow Light" lit on Express, what next?
    Thanks fellow Mac Fans!

    For the AX connected to the speakers:
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
    AirPort tab
    - Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    - Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    - Wireless Network: <select the existing wireless network>
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • AirPort Extreme + AirPort Express for AirTunes

    Hi there,
    I've just unpacked my new AP Extreme station (v7.3.2) as a replacement for the AP Express (v6.3) and it works just fine. What I now have been trying for some hours is to set up AP Express for AirTunes, but it doesn't work.
    I just want to add AP Express to the wireless network created via the AP Extreme not to extend the network, but simply use AirTunes.
    I tried the guided set-up via the Airport Utility, also the manual one. I tried to create a closed and normal network. The problem is always the same: After the update of the AP Express station, the station can't be found and needs a hard reset to start just another try for a set-up...only the AP Extreme shows up.
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance.

    ...I solved it myself this morning at about 1.00 AM, but this page was down, so I couldn't post my message earlier...sometimes its easier than you think: I just forgot to enter the MAC address of the AirPort Express under the "Access" menu of he AirPort Extreme. That was the reason why the Express couldn't join the network created by he Extreme. The rest is as Nee Kun stated above with one difference: Once the Express is plugged in, I of course see/access (frankly you cannot see it, because its "closed"=invisible) only one network, but in my AirPort Utility I can see both, Extreme and Express

  • Airport Extreme (n-version) as base for extending with Airport Express(old)

    I have a new Airport Extreme that I need to extend - meaning need an ethernet connection on the other side of the room, but I dont want to drag a wire across. I have an extra, and old, Express but I have spent the past couple of hours trying to get it to share/extend the network. Everything seems to configure properly (and I have tried all sorts of options - even setting up a WDS which doesnt seem to work), but when I plug in to the ethernet jack - and then this to my computer - it does not see anything. Help?

    You'll need to check a few settings on the AirPort Extreme because you'll need the information to configure the AirPort Express correctly.
    Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup for the AirPort Extreme
    Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
    Jot down the exact name of your wireless network and the security setting that you have in place now. I assume that you already know your wireless network password.
    Close AirPort Utility
    "Hard reset" the AirPort Express (AX) by holding in the reset button on the AX until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly, keep holding the reset button when this occurs for another 4-5 seconds and then release
    Connect the AX to one of the LAN <-> ports with the ethernet cable
    Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup for the AX. You'll be prompted to Switch networks so that you can configure the AX
    Click the Base Station tab (located under the row of icons) to name your AX, establish a device password and adjust Time Zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name = Exact same name as your AirPort Extreme wireless network
    Radio Mode = 802.11 b/g
    Channel = Automatic
    Wireless Security = Exact same setting as your AirPort Extreme network
    Wireless Password = Same password as your AirPort Extreme network
    Confirm Password
    Click the Internet icon and check these main settings
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode0
    Update to save settings. Close AirPort Utility as soon as you see the message that the settings have been stored. The AX will restart in 30-40 seconds. Then restart your entire network by powering everything down. Wait a moment and start the modem first, then the AirPort Extreme, then the AirPort Express and your computers and devices.
    If you decide to use the powerline adapter to allow the AX to be located wherever you want, the AX is already configured to so so.

  • Airport Express and Airport Extreme on same network? (for Air tunes)

    Hi - we just replaced our router with an Airport Extreme...unfortunately we can't get our Expresses to show up on the same network - in fact I have to turn off the Extreme connection and reset the expresses to factory to even get them to show up in the AP utility. Which in the end did no good.
    Question is - has anyone managed to make the 2 work together and if so, how. I'm only interested in Express for Airtunes, the Extreme covers the internet. We've selected the g/b compatibility etc.
    Any help welcome - if not, we're going back to the old router.
    Thanks

    Yes, the two are compatible and work rather well for airtunes.
    Reset the express by holding the reset button for approx. 5 seconds(till the light flashes).
    Turn on Airport and open Airport utility, select the express, then set it to "join a wireless network" on the wireless tab, and connect it to your existing network(extreme). Obviously you will have to enter the network info(name/passes/etc). But should link rather easily. The whole process should only take a minute or two.

  • How do I set up multiple Airport Expresses to connect over ethernet for Airtunes only?

    I am trying to set up an Airtunes network using an Airport Extreme and three Airport Expresses connected together via ethernet (CAT5 cable). At each Airport Express there will be a speaker setup. I don't need/want internet connectivity on the network, but not sure if it is required for setup or not. I have made this work over wifi, using the Expresses to extend the network, but struggling to get this to work over ethernet.
    I would be verry grateful of a step-by-step method to setting this up! I am also looking to set up 6 airport expresses to do the same thing in another location.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for the info.
    I assume that the AirPort Extreme is setup and working at this point.
    Work with one AirPort Express at a time to get them all configured, and then you can locate them where they will be needed.
    AirPort Setup will configure the Express devices to "extend a wireless network" using Ethernet, so they will be broadcasting the same wireless signal as the AirPort Extreme and provide more wireless signal coverage as well.
    I have yet to meet the first person who thought that they had too much wireless coverage, but you would have the option to turn off the wireless on the Express if you wanted. Most users like having extended wireless for their devices.
    Temporarily, move an Express close to the AirPort Extreme
    Connect a spare Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Express
    Power up the Express for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Express for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Express to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Click the Airport icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for AirPort Express to appear just under the listing of New AirPort Base Station
    Click directly on the AirPort Express
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Express will be configured to extend the AirPort Extreme network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use....example.....Express1.....and click Next
    AirPort Setup will configure everything for you. Notice that the message will say that the Express is being set up to extend using Ethernet. When you see the message of setup complete, click Done.
    Now you can move the Express to the remote location where it is needed, hook it up to the Ethernet connection there, power up the Express and set up AirTunes on the device.
    AirTunes is enabled by default, to other than make the speaker connection, you won't have much to do on that.
    Set up other Express devices the same way, except assign a different name to each device....example....Express2, Express3, etc.....to keep things organized.

  • Buy 802.11N AirPort Extreme & Use old 802.11g as router to connect  xbox

    My son's xbox 360 was connected via an airport express to my wireless LAN which uses the older "dome" 802.11g airport base station. This worked well until the airport express express "burned out". I was going to buy a new airport express 802.11N for $99 but then realized that by buying an airport extreme 802.11N base station (for $179) and using my old 802.11g base station instead of a new airport express 802.11N to connect to the xbox, I would be upgrading my household LAN to 802.11N for only $79 more than the cost of a new airport express.
    I am concerned that by using the 802.11g as a router to connect to the xbox I woud be slowing down the whole network thus defeating the purpose of upgrading my current LAN with a new 802.11N extreme base station.
    Is there a "right" way to configure the network so as to use my old
    802.11g airport extreme as a wireless router (instead of a new airport express) to connect to the xbox without slowing the whole network?
    What do people do with their old 802.11g airport extremes when they upgrade to the 802.11N airport extreme base station?

    +My question is this: may I toggle the 2004 g extreme on and off -as needed- to extend or use a printer?+
    If all of the devices on the network are "n", then you'll be able to make use of Apples new "extend a wireless network" configuration. The wireless will operate at much faster "n" speeds.
    If you add a new AirPort Extreme "n" and you want the older "g" Extreme to "extend", you'll still have to use the older WDS setup on all of the routers on the network. This will drop the entire network down to "g" levels and cause a signficant loss of bandwidth as well. In effect, it would be the same as if you had all older "g" routers on your network.
    You could configure the older Extreme to "join" the wireless network. It would not provide any additional wireless coverage configured this way, but it would allow the other "n" devices to operate at "n" levels. You could plug a printer into this device assuming that it's compatible with remote printing at the USB port of the Extreme.
    I would not recommend turning a network device on and off as this will surely cause connection issues with other network devices, probably sooner rather than later. If you plan to use the older "g" Extreme to provide a print function, plan on leaving it powered on with the rest of the network.

  • AirPort, older AirPort Extreme Base Station, AirPort Express, Newer AirPort Extreme Base Station

    This may sound like a fairly dumb question, but here goes anyway:
    I have a 27" iMac with the following AirPort Extreme card:
    Card Type:    AirPort Extreme  (0x168C, 0x8F)
    Firmware Version:    Atheros 9280: 2.1.14.6
    For a Base Station, I'm currently using a pretty long-in-the-tooth M8799LL/A AirPort Extreme Base Station (with modem and antenna port)
    I recently bought an Airport Express:
    AirPort Express MB321LL/A (A1264) to
    A. Use AirTunes to send iTunes from my Man Cave on the first floor at one end of the house to the family room on the first floor at the other, where it will connect to an A/V setup, and, probably, one of my USB printers
    B. Act as a repeater for the AirPort Extreme Base Station, which is physically closer to the Man Cave than to the family room. My wife and I use our ancient-but-hangin'-in-there iBook G4s in the family room (and upstairs) to check email, eBay, etc. Both in the family room and especially upstairs, we sometimes get only 2-3 bars on the AirPort signal strength indicator in the menu bar.
    I see that I can get, from a well-known third-party retailer, an AirPort Extreme 802.11n A1143 (1st Generation), for an exceptionally reasonable price.
    My question is, what would getting the AirPort Extreme 802.11n A1143 do for me, if anything? I know it would give me one more signal source in the repeater chain, and I could probably put the Auld Nyle M8799LL/A in the stairway or upstairs to boost the signal upstairs, and I could use the USB port in the AirPort Extreme A1143 for connecting another USB printer or USB external hard drive (would this drive be available to any Mac on the AirPort network?)
    Any other configuration possibilities and suggestions greatly appreciated!
    Peace & Love
    Bart Brown

    Thank you for the prompt reply and the very helpful links. I'm going through all the support docs right now, but from your explanation and what I've seen in the support docs so far, it would appear that the maximum bandwidth is achieved by a physically-connected "Roaming Network."
    I'm so out of it, I'm afraid I'd never heard  of "Powerline adapters," but I looked them up, and I guess this is the system that uses "Romex" - style standard house wiring to carry signal, which cuts down on each individual Base Station's power overhead (does it also affect bandwidth?).
    I see a lot of names selling these adapters -- Western, D-Link, NETGEAR, ZyXEL, Monster, Sling Media, PowerNet, Cisco-Linksys, Actiontec, Medialink, Rosewill, TRENDnet -- and a lot of different configurations: 1 port, 2 ports, 4 ports. Basically I have one 27" iMac that doesn't go anywhere (it's not too portable!), a couple iBook G4s, and a point where I want to run 1/8" mini-jack-to-RCA L/R audio cable from the AirPort Express to an A/V receiver. I doubt this configuration is going to change, as I'm 63, and too lazy to lug stuff around if I don't have to. What do you think would be the best solution for me, considering I just ordered the AEBSn and I already have a brand-new AXn. Should the 27" iMac, since it ain't movin', be connected by ethernet/"Powerline adapter", rather than relying on the internal Airport Extreme card? I guess what I'm asking is, given what I want to do, how many of these Powerline adapters, what kind (do you recommend), with how many ethernet ports do I need?
    Thank you again for your prompt and informed help.

  • What is the difference between the airport extreme and the airport express?

    What's the real difference between the airport extreme and the airport express except for the price and the size? Does one transmit with more range?

    Range is about the same, maybe a bit better on the Extreme, which has better antennas.
    The AirPort Exreme has Gigabit (1,000 Mpbs) Ethernet ports and the USB port will support a hard drive.
    The Express has 10/100 (up to 100 Mpbs) Ethernet ports, and will not support a hard drive at the USB port.
    The Express has audio capability for AirTunes while the Extreme does not.
    If you don't need to connect a hard drive and don't need the faster Ethernet ports, the Express is a good value.

  • Creating a bridge with airport extreme (base) and airport express

    i am having trouble creating a bridge with airport extreme (base) and airport express. i got the airport express to connect to my network. Airtunes sees it fine. i have an iMac (running Tiger) connected to the airport express via ethernet which i was hoping to get internet on (the iMac doesn't not have built in wireless and i had a spare airport express). now the airport express is no longer visible to the airport setup assistant on that iMac. but, like i mentioned, Airtunes is working fine, and the light is green.
    i'm new to the wireless stuff. i am sure i just missed a step. how do i get the iMac to connect to the internet via my airport express bridging to my airport extreme wireless network?
    your help is appreciated.

    You can do this with the equipment you have. Configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to act as a WDS main base station and configure the AirPort Express (AX) to act as a WDS remote base station. That will allow you to use the Ethernet port on the AX.
    Unfortunately WDS also causes the available wireless bandwidth to be cut in half.

    You can use the 2 TB Time Capsule as a network drive. That means that it must connect to one of the Ethernet LAN <--> ports on the new AirPort Extreme, or connect to the network using wireless.

  • Airport Extreme REQUIRES powered USB hub for external HDDs

    Just bought an Airport Extreme Wireless dual-band N router (January 2012).  It works very well and having the separate 2.5 and 5 GHz bands is a fantastic feature.  Setup was really easy and it essentially worked 'out of the box'.  The one issue I had is attaching a USB Western Digital 1 TB HDD to share on the network and use for Time Machine backups from multiple MacBook Pro laptops.
    The drive would appear in the Aiport Utility's "Share Hard Drive" tab, but it was listed as zero bytes and wasn't available to actually share out over the network.  I formatted it as a single volume to make sure there wasn't an issue with the drive itself (although it should support multiple partitions on a drive), and it mounted to my Mac just fine, but it still would not work with the Airport Extreme.
    After reading several posts on these Apple forums I picked up the fact that the only way most people get their hard drives to work is by purchasing a powered USB hub and connecting that between the Extreme and the hard drive.  Some hard drives do appear to work plugged directly into the Airport Extreme, but that seems to be more of the exception than the rule. 
    The reason given is that the USB port on the Airport Extreme was originally designed for printers and is basically underpowered for proper HDD connections. Adding a powered USB hub not only allows USB hard drives to work, but you can connect multiple USB devices (hard drives and printers) to share over the Airport Extreme through the powered hub, so you do get that added feature.
    So if you have plans to upgrade to the incredibly fast and efficient Airport Extreme and plan to do your Time Machine Backups wirelessly (which works very well), add a powered USB hub to your purchase to avoid some frustration.  I picked up a four-port powered USB hub at Staples for $30.
    It's a great purchase otherwise.  Four out of five stars in my review.

    For anyone else who reads this post, the respondents are correct.  I cannot find anything directly from Apple that states explicity the support for Time Machine backups to a USB drive on a second generation Apple Airport Extreme.  I would love to see their detailed case studies and latest tests that demonstrate the backup corruption isues, and more recent tests conducted with the latest Airport Extreme, running the latest firmware with Lion 10.7.2.
    Having said that, each person who is interested in this as a backup solution should consider more than one source before making a final decision:

    The Apple Support articles referenced that explicity state TS does not work with Airport Extreme mounted USB drives are for older OS X 10.5 and 10.6.  I cannot find anything for 10.7 that states the same thing:
    Older Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2038
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
    http://Pondini.org/TM/Airport.html
    The other thing you can do is on the Time Machine menu, hold down the "Option" key and use the 'verify backups' option to help ensure that your TS backups are valid.
    Hopefully Apple will come out with an official statement soon that speaks directly to the 2nd generation Airport Extreme on the latest firmware running TS backups from OS X Lion 10.7.
    My statement about the need for a powered USB hub to have much better success with USB attached hard drives still stands.
